What Now?

As I ponder the coming year and what it will mean for all of us I am left wondering.....where has all the common sense and accountability gone? I am not the smartest light bulb in the box when it comes to politics but, seriously, what happened to making our elected officials answer for their actions? When did we abdicate our responsibility to keep the government in line? I have listened to people criticize the way the President is doing the job and it is starting to really chap my ass. The Republicans make all these negative statements (without merit) about the items that are important to working Americans that President Obama has been trying to deal with for the past 2 years, but they have come up with no workable alternatives. We all know how easy it is to sit in your chair and say "well that won't work" but if you truly believe that it won't work then come up with an alternative plan and work with the President not against him, particularly if you are working against him for no reason other than the fact that he is the one that came up with the idea.

For the Democrats, I can only say, put your big boy/girl pants on and support the President and work with him to make things happen. Does this mean that everyone is always going to be happy with the outcome of all the decisions? NO....I had to go to court once and the judge made a comment that I have found to be true more than once......when it comes to 2 parties and working out an agreement.......the comment was "if both parties are not completely happy with the outcome, then it must be fair".

To get to the point of my rant......since this is not a dictatorship, but a democracy, we will all have to make compromises with each other so that all of us get some of what we want, that the economy will recover, that our children and old people are taken care of, that people who want to work can work and most importantly.......WE MUST HOLD WASHINGTON ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR BAD BEHAVIOUR, BAD CHOICES AND NOT LET THEM DETERMINE WHO IS PUT IN THE PRESIDENTS OFFICE.

Hope you have a blessed day and a better tomorrow.
